Common Customer Queries

FAQs - Heavy Equipment Transport Services

Transporting heavy equipment often comes with a lot of questions. Below, we’ve answered the most common queries about our heavy equipment transport services to help you feel confident in your decision to work with Nilson Van and Storage. Let us simplify your next move!

  • What is heavy equipment transport?

    Heavy equipment transport refers to the specialized hauling of oversized or overweight machinery, construction equipment, and industrial assets. This includes items such as excavators, loaders, generators, and large components that require specific trailers and securement methods. Nilson Van and Storage provides heavy equipment transport throughout Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Sumter, and Savannah using dry van, flatbed, and lowboy solutions tailored to load size and weight requirements.

  • How much does heavy equipment transport cost?

    The cost of heavy equipment transport depends on load dimensions, weight, distance, required trailer type, permits, and route planning. Oversized loads may require escort vehicles or additional coordination. Nilson Van and Storage evaluates each project individually to provide clear pricing based on equipment specifications and delivery timelines. Businesses across South Carolina and Georgia benefit from structured planning that helps avoid delays and unexpected expenses.

  • What is the difference between flatbed and lowboy transport?

    Flatbed transport services use open-deck trailers that allow easy loading from the sides or top, making them ideal for construction materials and large equipment. Lowboy transport services feature a lower deck height, which accommodates taller and heavier machinery that exceeds standard height limits. Nilson Van and Storage selects the appropriate heavy equipment transport method based on equipment dimensions, regulatory requirements, and delivery destination.

  • When should I use dry van transport services?

    Dry van transport services are best for equipment components, palletized freight, or machinery that requires enclosed protection from weather and road debris. Unlike open trailers, dry vans provide secure, sealed environments during transit. Nilson Van and Storage offers dry van options as part of its heavy equipment transport solutions for businesses that need added protection for sensitive or high-value shipments.

  • Do you transport oversized or overweight loads?

    Yes, heavy equipment transport often includes oversized and overweight loads that require specialized trailers and routing considerations. Proper permits, route surveys, and compliance with state regulations are essential. Nilson Van and Storage coordinates logistics carefully to ensure machinery is transported safely and efficiently across Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Sumter, Savannah, and surrounding regions.

  • How do you secure heavy machinery during transport?

    Securing heavy machinery requires industry-approved tie-down methods, weight distribution planning, and equipment stabilization techniques. Chains, binders, and reinforced anchor points are commonly used depending on the load type. Nilson Van and Storage follows strict loading procedures to ensure heavy equipment transport is handled safely, reducing risk during transit across South Carolina and Georgia highways.

  • How far in advance should I schedule heavy equipment transport?

    It is recommended to schedule heavy equipment transport at least one to two weeks in advance, though complex or oversized loads may require additional planning time. Advance scheduling allows for proper trailer allocation, permit coordination, and route preparation. Nilson Van and Storage works closely with contractors, construction firms, and industrial clients to align delivery timelines with project schedules.

  • What areas do your heavy equipment transport services cover?

    Nilson Van and Storage provides heavy equipment transport services throughout Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Sumter, and Savannah, as well as interstate destinations when required. The company supports construction, manufacturing, and industrial operations across the Southeastern United States. With multiple trailer options and experienced drivers, businesses can rely on structured transport solutions designed to meet demanding logistical requirements.

Nilson Van and Storage did a wonderful job helping us move from their customer service to the move itself. Karen did a wonderful job through out the consultation and ensuring all our questions were answered in regards to packing. Theresa made sure to follow up all throughout the process, making sure everything was taken care of prior to the crew arriving to even after, which was very much needed in the chaos of moving! And of course Stanley and his crew were amazing! Even after being stuck in traffic with delays they did not waste a single minute getting all of our items on the truck for transit. All of our items arrived in great shape, and the guys made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it! I am so glad we went with their company, it made our move hastle free!

We were assigned Nilson for our military international move a few months ago. They moved our household goods and our unaccompanied baggage and did an amazing job. They were very friendly, packed everything with care, and were very thorough with their labeling of the boxes. Our whole house was packed and ready to go within two days! I want to call out Ty specifically, he made the process so much easier than it could have been and was great about answering all of my questions!
Response from the owner 20:05 21 Aug 24
We appreciate you sharing your positive experience, Lauren. We value your opinion and we're thrilled to know your move went smoothly. A sincere thank you for your service, and wishing you all the best in your new surroundings!

Half our experience was fine but when they packed our kitchen up we told them to not pack two cupboards and they did. One those cupboards had our dog's prescription food so we had to go through boxes to find.

Wow! This was my Wife’s and I first big move using a moving company, and Angie, Ty, and Kayla exceeded every expectation we had. Ty talked me through every part of the move, showed me the truck, and told me exactly how the unpackers should handle our stuff. Kayla took me through all the paperwork and ensured every single item we had was accounted for and tagged with a corresponding number so we can track it all once we get to our unpacking portion. Angie worked incredibly fast and took extra care of every plate and cup in the kitchen to ensure every item was individually wrapped and secured before packing it. All three of these incredible movers never made assumptions about items and asked along the way if we wanted certain things packed… thanks again Ty, Angie, and Kayla- y’all were amazing!
